I have tried by copying <hbase.rootdir> to some other location on my linux box eg /root/hbasedata and restarted Hbase. It was started successfully and contains all data as well. Is there any better way to do it as this process is manual ?
From: Stuti Awasthi Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Hbase Backup Hi , I was reading about Hbase backup and various backup options available. Normally the options available are when HBase is deployed on Hadoop. I have 2 issues : * What options are available for backup if I run single standalone Hbase. Currently <hbase.rootdir> value is set for home directory. Eg : /home/hbase/hbasedata. * How to migrate my data from single Hbase node to Hbase build on top of Hadoop. Should only copy the hbase.root dir to proper hdfs path will work ? ________________________________ ::DISCLAIMER:: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
